Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process. Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

Researchers used generative AI to develop a physics-informed technique to classify phase transitions in materials or physical systems that is much more efficient than existing machine-learning ...

Two breakthroughs in mathematics could reshape how researchers understand symmetries in nature and the behavior of complex systems. These advances, led by Pham Tiep, a professor at Rutgers University, ...

How many fossils does it take to accurately train an image-based AI algorithm? According to a new study co-authored by Bruce ...

One would imagine that an AI capable of solving the hardest Olympiad problems would naturally produce novel scientific breakthroughs, yet this has not been the case.

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

It’s a breakthrough in the field of random walks.

An HMRC troubleshooter is stepping in to lead an “urgent recovery plan” as the civil service pension scheme experiences difficulties, following the transfer to new supplier. There are now plans to add ...
